SUMMARY:Elf at the Westdale
DESCRIPTION:Buddy was a baby in an orphanage who stowed away in Santa’s sack and ended up at the North Pole. Later\, as an adult who happened to be raised by elves\, Santa allows him to go on a quest to find his birth father Walter Hobbs. Walter\, who is on Santa’s naughty list for being a heartless jerk\, had no idea that Buddy was even born. Buddy\, meanwhile\, experiences the delights of New York City (and human culture) as only an elf can. When he finally meets Walter\, both of them begin to reevaluate their relationship and their priorities to their jobs.

SUMMARY:Christmas on the Rails
DESCRIPTION:Ride into the holiday season with us! We’re opening our doors one last time until the spring for a unique seasonal experience. There’s nothing like riding the rails on vintage streetcars through the woods with snow on the trees and Christmas carols in the air. Santa comes to visit\, roams around and sometimes even drives the streetcar to the North Pole ‘cause the reindeer would hurt themselves on the railway tracks. \nNew this year! Cookie decorating for kids in Barn 4 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Cost is $5/child. There is a limited number of cookies\, so be sure to arrive early. \nThe streetcars\, buildings and grounds are decorated for the holiday season. Rides are about 20 minutes\, and there are usually up to four different ones to ride. Purchase cider\, hot chocolate\, coffee or cookies to enjoy as you wander around the grounds. \nTickets available at the door or online. Weather permitting. Access 2 Card accepted.

SUMMARY:Christmas on the Rails
DESCRIPTION:Ride into the holiday season with us! We’re opening our doors one last time until the spring for a unique seasonal experience. There’s nothing like riding the rails on vintage streetcars through the woods with snow on the trees and Christmas carols in the air. Santa comes to visit\, roams around and sometimes even drives the streetcar to the North Pole ‘cause the reindeer would hurt themselves on the railway tracks. \nNew this year! Cookie decorating for kids in Barn 4 from 1:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. Cost is $5/child. There is a limited number of cookies\, so be sure to arrive early. \nThe streetcars\, buildings and grounds are decorated for the holiday season. Rides are about 20 minutes\, and there are usually up to four different ones to ride. Purchase cider\, hot chocolate\, coffee or cookies to enjoy as you wander around the grounds. \nTickets available at the door or online. Weather permitting. Access 2 Card accepted.
